🎭🖤 WAS IT ALL JUST A DREAM?! 🖤🎭

The morning after the night before… and Lisa Faye is wondering whether last night’s WONSTON GOTHIC MASQUERADE really happened! 👻🍷

Just a few hours ago, The Wonston Arms was a world of mystery, outrageous costumes, incredible music, laughter and absolute Halloween madness! 🦇💀

And now? Lisa’s somehow transformed the scene of the crime back into our lovely little village pub… although the rather suspicious collection of items on our LOST PROPERTY SHELF suggests it wasn’t entirely a dream! 😂🎩👠

❤️ BUT HERE’S THE BIGGEST THANK YOU OF ALL…

To EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU who made the effort, dressed up, threw yourselves into the spirit of the night and brought such extraordinary energy through our doors…

YOU ARE WHAT MAKES THESE NIGHTS SO SPECIAL! ❤️

Because the secret to a truly amazing party isn’t just the music, the decorations or the entertainment.

IT’S THE PEOPLE WHO TURN UP AND BECOME PART OF IT! 🥳

When everyone makes that effort, everyone else has an even better time. And last night you delivered something quite magical.

Huge love to Lisa Faye, our fabulous special guests, Count DJ Jules, Darren and his Dark & Devilish Tacos, and everyone who helped bring the madness to life. 🎤🎧🌮

But most of all, thank YOU for reminding us why we love doing what we do.

A little village pub. A room full of extraordinary people. One unforgettable night.

That’s the magic of THE BEST LITTLE PUB IN HAMPSHIRE! ❤️🍻

P.S. If you woke up this morning missing something rather unusual… Lisa may have found it! 😂👀

🚨🐾 FOUR-LEGGED MINESWEEPER BUSTED AT THE BAR! 🍺😂

Every pub has its regulars… but some are a little more dedicated to clearing up the spillages than others!

Caught red-pawed at The Wonston Arms! 🐶

No pint too small, no drip left behind… our four-legged friend takes his bar-cleaning duties VERY seriously! 🍻🤣

Health & Safety might have something to say about this one! 👀

Just another day at The Best Little Pub in Hampshire! ❤️

🖤 FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY… ESCAPE THE ORDINARY! 🎭🦇

There’s something rather magical about Halloween at The Wonston Arms…

The costumes. The characters. The atmosphere. The laughter. And that wonderful feeling that, for a few hours, you’ve stepped out of everyday life and into somewhere completely different.

If you’ve experienced one of our legendary Halloween nights before, you’ll know exactly what we mean. And if you haven’t… THIS IS YOUR YEAR! 🖤

🃏 UNO… WE MIGHT BE ONTO SOMETHING! 🍻

Well, that was a rather fun Thursday night! 😂

After weeks of plotting, planning and wondering whether anyone would actually turn up… we finally gave our first-ever Wonston UNO Thursday Challenge a go!

Behind the closed red velvet curtains of the Badger Suite, a lovely bunch of locals gathered for a few drinks, some fiercely competitive card games and an awful lot of laughter.

And you know what? It worked! ❤️

Who knew a pack of UNO cards could cause quite so much excitement in a little village pub? 😂

A big thank you to everyone who helped us test the idea tonight.

Something tells us this won’t be the last one…

👀 WATCH THIS SPACE! 🃏

❤️ TIME TO REMEMBER. TIME TO GIVE. 🌺

As Remembrance Day approaches, we’re proud to once again be supporting the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal here at The Wonston Arms.

It’s a time to remember those who gave so much, to honour those who served, and to show our appreciation for the sacrifices made by so many.

We’ve got our Poppy Appeal collection tin on the bar, and we’d love everyone popping in for a pint over the coming days to drop in a little spare change if they can.

A few pennies, a pound or two… it all adds up and helps support our Armed Forces community, veterans and their families.

From all of us at the best little pub in Hampshire, thank you for helping us support such a worthwhile cause. ❤️

We will remember them. 🌺

💀🦴 WILLIE’S GONE TO DOGGY HEAVEN! 😂🐾

Our favourite pub dog Willie popped into The Wonston Arms with his mum and dad today… and quite frankly, he couldn’t believe his luck!

With all our Halloween decorations going up, there were SKELETONS EVERYWHERE! 💀💀💀

And to Willie, that meant just one thing…

BONES. BONES. AND MORE BONES!! 🦴🤣

Like a kid let loose in a sweet shop, he simply didn’t know where to look first!

Well, we couldn’t have the poor lad leaving empty-pawed, could we?

So naturally, Willie got to take a bone home of his very own! 😂❤️

Only at The Wonston Arms. Even the dogs love Halloween! 🎃🐾
